CNN fires Jeffrey Lord

[DigitalDrifter]

Surely they are taking what he did out of context.
It's likely they are just using this as a convenient way they can cut him loose without looking like they just want to dump a proTrump commentator.

CNN said Thursday it had cut ties with Jeffrey Lord, one of its most polarizing and ubiquitous personalities, after he used a phrase largely associated with Nazis in World War II. The separation is the latest at the Time Warner-owned cable-news outlet, which has come under increased scrutiny since the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

On Twitter, Lord used the phrase “Sieg heil” in a retort to Angelo Carusone, who heads the liberal activist organization Media Matters for America.

“Nazi salutes are indefensible,” the network said in statement. “Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network.”

[JimBowie1958]

The Left has decided to purge American discourse of any Conservatives who dare to disagree with them using the flimsiest of excuses.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Utter nonsense.
Again, just another example of insane hypersensitivity and the desire of the PC crowd to purge nonconforming opinion.

Surely they are taking what he did out of context.

What Lord did is unacceptable, so we're acting like fascists, purging dissenting opinions -- CNN

 

[BlackFlag]

Jeffrey Lord is Kellyanne Conway in a wig. If he wants to spend his days lying to cover up Trump's incompetence, he should apply for work at the White House.

 

[theHawk]

So he correctly called out a group a liberal activists for the fascists they are with a taunting "Sieg Heil", and gets fired for it because it is "inexcusable".

Yet it's perfectly fine for progressives to constantly call President Trump "Hitler" or some other nonsense comparing him to Nazis.

 

[mamooth]

Oh, look. More conservative free market haters. What a surprise.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Didn't Anderson Cooper suggest a bowel movement on the desk by the president? He should be fired for that language. Primarily because it's a sorry excuse for any full grown man to use as a curse!

 

[idb]

He'll get a job on Trump TV.

 

[busybee01]

Tweeting "Sieg Heil" is okay? Lord has said some pretty crazy things and good riddance. He is a fake conservative.

 

[HenryBHough]

Didn't Anderson Cooper suggest a bowel movement on the desk by the president? He should be fired for that language. Primarily because it's a sorry excuse for any full grown man to use as a curse!

But coming from an individual whose mind yet lingers at a 5-year old state of development? Surely something to be expected.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Progressives hate being reminded that Hitler was a Socialist

 

[mamooth]

Sad thing is, Lord should have been fired long ago for being a pathologically dishonest white supremacist douche. If CNN wasn't so in-the-bag for Trump, they would have never hired him.

Oh well. The bright side is that he got trolled by Media Matters. We iberals are laughing our asses off at how he fell for it, and at how all Lord's little stormfront buddies are crying.

 

[Conservative65]

Oh, look. More conservative free market haters. What a surprise.

Oh look, more Liberal free speech haters. What a surprise.

 

[idb]

Oh, look. More conservative free market haters. What a surprise.

Oh look, more Liberal free speech haters. What a surprise.

CNN have exercised their free market and free speech rights.
As we know...corporations are people, my friend.

I'm pretty sure if anyone at CNN was calling Trump Hitler they'd no longer be there. This goes both ways. Kaepernick can't get a job because he pisses off one base. This guy because he pisses off the other.

Personally I am fine not standing up for these guys on TV giving hitler salutes and sitting for the anthem.
